Product Description:

FruitMenu is a haxie that gives you the ability to customize the Apple Menu and contextual menus. Using a visual editor you can edit the contents of the menus to suit your needs and taste. FruitMenu will also display the contents of the FruitMenu Items folder inside of your Library folder, launch applications and shell scripts from the Apple Menu and contextual menus, to allow easy file navigation and launching. You can also assign hotkeys to particular Apple menu items.

What's new in this version:

Note: The price of FruitMenu has increased from $10 to $12. (This increase will take effect sometime Tuesday.)
This is a free upgrade.
Added support for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard v10.5 and later.
Dropped support for Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. FruitMenu now requires Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger v10.4.11 or later.
Removed all references to QuickTime. Now uses the superior ImageIO functionality to work with images. This has an unintended side effect of decreasing FruitMenu's load time at application launch.
Removed a lot of deprecated APIs and replaced them with modern, non-deprecated versions.
Removed some calls to the private CPS (CoreProcess Services) APIs when there was a public replacement (many CPS functions still lack a replacement in 10.5.x).
Changed the gather option to choose a folder name based on the current user's locale settings.
Added some spin locks and less trans fat.
Significantly reduced application launch time by only loading preference panes on demand.
Includes APE 2.5.
Includes SCR 1.5.
Plea: If you've bought FruitMenu around four years ago and have never paid for it again (we've not charged for an update of FruitMenu) we kindly ask if you wouldn't mind paying a voluntary upgrade fee. This fee is completely voluntary, is not required, and FruitMenu itself has no knowledge of whether you have volunteered or not. There are no perks to volunteer and we only ask that only registered users volunteer. To volunteer, please go to http://www.unsanity.com/store/add/fruitmenu_vuf.

I have tried (and tried and tried) to get information from the developer through their www.unsanity.com website. They do not and will not respond.

There is NO information posted about any of their products and compatibility with OSX v10.6 Snow Leopard. And no amount of email requests, support tickets, etc., have resulted in any response at all.

As much as I loved their products and have used them for years, the company has horrible customer service and the website is even worse.

FruitMenu and Snow Leopard - Version: 3.7.3, 10/23/2009 03:41PM PST

Unlike some, I have found FruitMenu to be a reliable and helpful product. Consequently, for several years now, I have happily used it on three Macs with only minor compatibility problems (and gladly paid the appropriate shareware fees to Unsanity). It is a good product and the price is a bargain.

I purchased Snow Leopard the day it became available, but I haven't installed it on a single machine as of yet, because that would be irresponsible since I have many specialized software products that first need to be upgraded. Instead of moving too fast, I'm slowly going through my Apps and upgrading each for SL compatibility while making a list of those updates that aren't yet available.

FruitMenu will be ready when it's ready. Hopefully, so will I. Be patient.

The Unsanity Blog entry for Oct 6, 2009, says they are developing updates for FruitMenu and their other haxies. I hope they come out a little faster than the updates for Leopard did. I never found an alternative to Fruit Menu that I liked better in the year between Apple's OS X 10.5 release in 2007 and Unsanity's release of Fruit Menu 3.7.1 in August 2008. At least my old iMac G5 is unaffected!
